I've copied / modified / created 7 actions that I use commonly on my laptop, and would like to port them to my desktop also. can I somehow export the actions and then import/load them on other PC ?

Actions are saved in \*.mta files in the profile folder  
[freedb and Web Sources](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/2748/1)  
Just copy the files to the profile folder of your desktop pc.

Thank you, as always. I will use the custo genres aswell... 🙂  
Profile folder

Location of the profile folder:

Windows NT:  
C:\Winnt\Profiles{user name}\Application Data\Mp3tag  
Windows 2000, XP:  
C:\Documents and Settings{user name}\Application Data\Mp3tag  
Windows Vista:  
C:\Users{user name}\AppData\Roaming\Mp3tag

The profile folder is normally a hidden folder.  
You can either activate "Show hidden files and folders" in the windows explorer options or use the direct path %appdata%\Mp3tag  
To use the direct path, you can either use the windows explorer and enter %appdata%\Mp3tag in the address bar or click Start \> Run [Windows key+ R] and enter the path.

The profile folder contains the following data:  
Export configurations \*.mte  
%appdata%\Mp3tag\export

Actions \*.mta  
%appdata%\Mp3tag\data\actions

Web sources scripts \*.src  
%appdata%\Mp3tag\data\sources

custom genres, coloumn views and tools \*.ini  
%appdata%\Mp3tag\data
